I took care of my parents 2002 Ford Explorer today, a four hour job in all. Two coats of Zaino Z-2 on the paint and the plastic body cladding, Aquapel on the glass, one coat of Zaino Z-5 on the wheels, and one coat of Meguiars Endurance on the tires.

Sorry the pictures didn't turn out better, but the sun decided to hide AFTER I was done with my work!
 
Looks good Len_A!!



The headlights on the first pic really stand out. Did you Zaino them as well? Also, have you tried applying Z to the tinted windows? I don't think anything looks better than Zaino on tinted windows.....really gives the car an extra pop for good measure!

Thanks!!



I Zaino'ed the headlamps and the fog lights, but all the glass on the rest of the truck I used Aquapel, including the mirrors. Next time I may try the Zaino on the tinted glass just for effect (hmmm...wife's Escape has the same kind of tinted glass.......)
 
I love the new Explorer's!!! Too bad that ones a 6-cylinder, those new V-8's really haul some major arse. 0-60 in 8.0 secconds is not bad for a big ford SUV.



The only thing I wish Ford would change is their choice of tires, the Good Years just have way too much road noise and vibration, and the Firestones fall apart. :p



Anyway, that blue looks awesome! Great job, as usuall!! :bigups

If you end up with either an XLT Sport, an Eddie Bauer, or a Limited, you end up with BF Goodrich 16" tires instead of the Goodyears (and better looking wheels on the 16" ones as well, IMHO).



And you're 100% right on the V-6. the V-8 doesn't work as hard, and the V-8 is quieter.

probably the V-6 gets worse gas mileage because of having to work harder, too.... (ask me how I know :rolleyes: )

That's exactly what one of my neighbors said about the two 2002 Mercury Mountaineers he's had - first was a V-6, second IS a V-8, and the eight gets better gas mileage.
